Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Bocock Brothers, the only officially NCAA and collegiate licensed premium cigar company in the world.

Are Bocock Brothers cigars officially licensed?

Yes. Bocock Brothers is the only officially NCAA and collegiate licensed premium cigar company in the world. Every collegiate box, sampler, lighter, cutter, and ashtray is produced under official license with the university it represents.

Where are Bocock Brothers cigars made?

Every cigar is hand rolled in Honduras from aged, premium tobaccos, with production overseen through our allied factory for consistent quality box to box.

What is the difference between the wrappers?

Connecticut is the smoothest and mildest, creamy with notes of vanilla and light spice. Habano is medium bodied with richer spice and caramel depth. Corojo is bolder and more full flavored. Maduro and San Andres are dark and rich with cacao and cedar from extra fermented leaves. Sumatra sits in the middle, smooth and aromatic. Each collegiate line is offered in the wrapper that best fits its blend.

Which cigar should I buy as a gift?

For a new smoker, choose a Connecticut wrapper or a Variety 5 Pack so they can sample blends. For a serious cigar fan, a 20 count collector's box in their school colors is the standout gift. Add a matching lighter or cutter for a complete set.

How do I store cigars to keep them fresh?

Keep them in a humidor at about 70 percent humidity and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have a humidor, a sealed bag with a small humidity pack will hold them for a short time.

How do I cut and light a cigar?

Cut just above the shoulder of the cigar cap using a guillotine or V cutter, removing only enough to open a clean draw. Toast the foot with a torch flame without letting the flame touch the tobacco, then draw gently while rotating until it lights evenly.

Do you ship nationwide, and is there an age requirement?

Yes, we ship across the United States. All customers must be of legal age to purchase tobacco products, and age verification applies at checkout and delivery.

Can I get a custom box for my school, team, or event?

Yes. We produce custom and commemorative boxes for schools, championships, and events, and we offer live cigar rolling for events. Visit our contact page to discuss a custom project.
